Hello Ladies

I've had a number of requests for a Ladies Only training day so....

the offroad training team will put on a special Ladies Training Day for you at Anura which will include Level 1 training mixed with some other fun activities to make you more familiar with your bikes, more comfortable offroad and put smiles on your faces :-)

The date is provisional, but will probably be Sunday 16 August.

Pencil the date in your calendar and I shall ask Phillip at Donford to include the event in the booking sheet so you can book online.

If you can dream it you can do it!

This is a nice discreet way to keep all our club Ladies for himself.

I know I am a bit old, but is there any way I can assist with serving refreshments. Marida has given me an O.K.

Enjoy your training Ladies. Our trainers are the best.

Haha Jacques, at my age one has to do what one can :-)  Unfortunately I'm sharing them with Arno, John Carr and Neels and we're all being chaperoned by Anna Marie - and she's already got some ideas about making the day special for the ladies :-)

Oh, I would love to do this and meet everyone. We're finally getting our F800GS (hopefully this week)! Can't wait to get going on it.

Will you be covering some pillion riding somewhere during the day?

Yes it's definitely still on.

Anna Marie is busy with the planning, trying to make it more than just another training session; we want it to be fun.

As u all know by now this is a training day for Ladies only and that is why we will be doing things us girls are curious about / want to know but don't ask when the men around / things that don't come second nature / sometimes feel intimidated etc BUT we are the easy learners without the ego's and men like to train us as we don't ask dumb questions...we are the practical ones.  SO, what is this training day going to be about???

It's all about the HOW TO DO's:

HOW TO DO'S:

- general suspension settings and when it's needed;

- correct seat height

- tyre pressures - when and for what conditions and weights carried;

- how and where to check oil on the bike and how regularly;

- how all the controls on your bike works;

- what to take on a trip - what is crucial although you don't know how to use it yourself;

- some packing tips as we pack differently than men - we pack more in smaller spaces.. How to secure things on your bike to be safe

- what clothing, helmets, boots, gloves for different conditions

 

WHAT MORE TO EXPECT:

- General bike rules, riding in groups and following distances;

- stopping in the correct spot in order to pull away easily; how to push a bike around;

- Basic Level 1 training methods, cone riding, hill stopping/pulling away, cornering, overtaking & counter steering on tar

- lots of giggles, sexy girls with their sexy bikes, laughs and lots of fun, loads of good humour;

- surprises, lots of photies, healthy lunch, coffee on arrival

- trainers that will share their expertise in a relaxed way

 

WHERE DOES THIS ALL HAPPEN:

- Date: 16 August 2015

- Venue: ANURA Vineyards, Klapmuts

- Time: Arrival 08:00 for coffee and registration

- Lunch: 13:00

- Should finish by ±15:30

 

WHO CAN JOIN THIS DAY?

- ALL SIZES, ALL BRANDS OF BIKES - bring along your friend on her Honda, Suzuki, KTM etc

- THIS IS A FUN DAY FOR US GIRLS.

 

COST: R400.00 pp

Dit was heerlik! Ons het dit vreeslik geniet - tot laat die aand nog by die huis gesels oor alles wat ons geleer het. Dit was ook lekker om al die girls te leer ken.

A very big thank you to Anna-Marie for arranging a wonderful day and to all the guys for your patience and valuable knowledge - We sure learned a lot and can't wait for the next one!

Ek het geen laataand gesels gehad nie. Ek was poegaai! Het 9 ure se slaap gekry gisteraand om te probeer herstel.

Dit was baie lekker om net die girls te wees. Ek voel dat ek uiteindelik beginne cones en die skerp draaie regkry! Dis danksy Neels wat voor 'n mense uithardloop en sê "Kyk vir my!"

Baie dankie vir 'n uitstekende dag!
